So I have had this guy fir a couple of weeks. Eating like a champ but stays only in his burrow.

is this normal?
Here’s a vid of him eating.
plus he will only eat pellets! Trying to mix it up but he just spits it out.

I have a blue spotted jawfish as well. He eats pellets, mysis and flake food. Always in his burrow and comes out for food or to mess with my clown fish. Never strays far from the burrow.

Mine spits out pellets. I soak a few flakes and pick them up with a Baster to feed him. I’ve had him a few months. The other food I have floats too well. I’m gonna try a few other things but for now it’s wet flakes from a turkey baster. Usually give some to the yellow watchman Gobo too.

I have a really fat and happy Blue Spotted Jawfish. I've had him for almost 9 months now. He doesn't stray far from the burrow at all especially when people are around who aren't me. He will come out and dig, swim around a bit and be more comfortable when I am there but as soon as anyone else is around in my dorm room, he hides. Mine will exclusively eat flake food. I have tried everything and he isn't interested.
